reactions

Stop living in reactive mode

You were not built to constantly respond to other people’s priorities, notifications, or demands. You were not meant to go through your day passively reacting to what happens to you, instead of actively choosing how you want to show up. When you live like that for too long, you lose touch with what actually matters to you.

Your brain doesn’t need more cheap dopamine, it doesn’t need another scroll, another hit of urgency, or another crisis to solve. I think it needs presence, connection, sunshine, nature, rest, exercise and some good music.


Look forward, not backwards

Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action, you can never quite be certain how the situation will turn out. Sometimes you are victorious, and sometimes you become disillusioned. Remember that there are no mistakes if you have learned something in the process. At the end of every day, ask yourself these three questions:

  • What did I learn today?

  • How did I grow today?

  • What will I do differently tomorrow?
